Grab these basic ingredients to bring this delicious recipe to life.
All of the ingredients may be in your cabinet, or they can be found in your local grocery store.
- Unsalted Butter – I always recommended using unsalted butter when baking because it is easier to control the overall flavor of the recipe. However, if you don’t have unsalted on hand, DO NOT WORRY – Salted butter will also do the trick!
- Cream Cheese – Cream cheese has a smooth and creamy texture, which adds a luscious and velvety consistency to this recipe.
- Granulated Sugar – Sugar helps to sweeten this mixture.
- Eggs – Eggs act as a binding agent and provide extra moisture in the recipe.
- Vanilla Extract – I am a sucker for Mexican Vanilla (my favorite is linked here) but any vanilla will do the trick and give the perfect sweetness to this recipe.
- Raspberry Muffin Mix – Jiffy Raspberry muffin mix is the perfect addition to this recipe! This can be found at Walmart or Amazon using this link.
- All-purpose Flour (or a gluten-free blend, if desired)
- Baking Powder – This acts as an active ingredient to help the cookies rise.
- Fresh (or frozen) Raspberries – Fresh raspberries add an extra burst of flavor and yumminess to this recipe!
